Abstract
Higher education institutions can play an important role in improving society by training productive and committed people through providing knowledge, skills, and necessary values. Studying and conducting research in an optimal location in terms of institute accessibility, resilience against natural and external hazards, and environmental comfort is important for the maximum effectiveness of training. The current study explored which factors contribute to site selection for higher education institutes globally. To do so, a literature review and meta-analysis using secondary data from 1990 to 2024 were conducted to integrate findings from 37 original papers. The results showed that so-called socioeconomic health conditions, student considerations on institute accessibility, and transport services are very important. As such, the socioeconomic health scenarios that affect the improvement of institute location suitability should be given global attention. In addition, we recommend that attention be paid to increasing the level of awareness among individuals about economic features and making necessary interventions for educational infrastructure protection.
